If you decrease something by 4 percent,
you are keeping (100% - 4%) or 96% of the original
so multiply by the original amount by 96 percent or .96
If you have 100 pennies, and you give 4 away ( 4 percent decrease), you still have 96 pennies. You are keeping 96 percent of what you started with. This works no matter how much you start with.
Example:
you have 40 dollars
4% decrease
40 * .04 = 1.6 take this away
40 - 1.6 = 38.4 left
you keep 96 percent
40 * .96 = 38.4 left
I would say that statistics is a mathematical subject that allows you to explain scientific data. In a similar fashion, you could use mathematics to explain the various idea in physics as you can use statistics to interpret the results of experiments and the data collected.
Hope that helped!
Divide 83.524 by pi then take half of that answer .
the answer should be 13.29 or 13.3
